MOST frui
things any homemaker can
experience is the lack of storage
space. It destroys her peace of
mind and upsets her work sched-
ule.
It’s bad enough in any part of
the house, but it’s even worse in
the kitchen for here she must pre-
pare her meals and do a great part
of her work.
There’s good news, though, for
the woman who will but use her im-
agination even a little bit. No mat-
ter how old the kitchen, no matter
how deplorable the situation looks
at a discouraged glance, its sur-
prising how the kitchen can be re-
modeled to something practical
and efficient.
In many kitchens, wall space is
entirely wasted, and this can be
easily remedied with a few built-
in cupboards. More working space
is easily provided, too, with a few
feet of clay tile. These two remod-
eling tricks can increase both the
appearance and efficiency of the
kitchen.
You can save hundreds of steps
by having proper storage space in
Have plenty of cabinets . . .
the kitchen areas in which it’s
most needed. You can save need-
less headache over broken dishes
that are piled high in a crowded
cupboard by making intelligent use
of space already there, and it’s
usually there simply waiting to be
used!
A little study of your own kitchen
activities will show you where you
want to store dishes as well as
foods and equipment. Make a list
of activities in various work cen-
ters, such as range, refrigerator
and sink. From then on, you have
a concrete plan.
Make Thorough Use
Of Sink Area
One of the basic rules in putting
together an efficient kitchen con-
sists of separating all the major
appliances and working areas with
plenty of space for working. For
example, on either side of the
sink you should have a table top.
If you simply can’t manage to have
table space on both sides, at least
have it on one side.
Frequently, in older kitchens, one
finds that the area below the sink
is not utilized at all. Think how
handy this is for storing pots, pans,
bread boards, rolling pins and
such supplies as soap, detergents,
bleaches, dish pans, racks and col-
anders.
If you have a kitchen sink stand-
ing simply bare against a wall on
Smart Storage
A few feet of space formerly
wasted around the refrigerator
were used in remodeling this
kitchen to provide some much
needed extra space. The broom

frigerator and door while the
overhead cabinets give room for
dishes, bowls and other articles
needed in this section of the
room.
its legs, it’s a simple enough mat-
ter to find an undersink cabinet
that will fit this utterly useless
space.
If you already have a cabinet
and find that it doesn’t give the
most efficient use possible, try put-
ting small racks on the doors, in-
side, to hold the smaller items,
thus releasing shelf space for items
which need it.
When the sink is in front of a
window, it’s easy enough to have
cabinets on either side of the win-
dows to take care of storing some
dishes, glasses, bowls, and other
items'used in that area.
Store as many dishes as possible
in this sink area, as you can easily
-THE READER'S COURTROOM-
Just an Occupational Hazard
-By Will Bernard, LL.B -
If an Acrobat Sprains an Ankle, Is
The Theater Owner Responsible?
A feature of a travelling vaude-
ville show was a girl acrobat. One
evening, at the end of her act, she
started walking off the stage. Un-
fortunately, in some inexplicable
manner, a rubber ball had rolled
onto the platform. The girl, busy
smiling at the audience, stepped
on the ball, fell, and sprained her
ankle. Later she sued the theater
owner for damages, claiming that
he was responsible for keeping the
stage clear of all obstacles. But
the court turned down her claim.
The judge said that the girl
couldn’t blame the management un-
less she could have proved that the
ball had been lying there for some
time—long enough to attract the
attention of the stage hands.
* * *
A man was arrested on a charge
of beating his wife with a rolling
pin. At the trial, the defendant took
the witness stand to tell his side of
the story. The judge didn’t like the
way things were going, and soon
took over the cross-examination
himself. He fired question after
question at the man, all in a loud
and angry voice. Later the jury
brought in a guilty verdict, but on
appeal, the man was awarded a
new trial. The upper court said that
the judge’s manner was improper,
because it indicated prejudice.
Look at the area in back of your
range. Is it being used fully? In
an old-fashioned kitchen, the an-
swer is in all probability, “No.”
In the newly arranged kitchens,
you probably have a cupboard in
back of the range that will house
not only such staples as sugar,
coffee, flour, seasonings and other
foods needed for cooking, but also
some utensils.
A cupboard near the range should
hold pots and pans, as they will
then be nearest the area where
their greatest use is. If space is
short, use the inside of the doors
on the cabinets for holding such ac-
cessories as spatulas, cooking
spoons and forks, knives, strain-
ers, etc. In this way, you can keep
them right at your finger tips, and
need not rumble through a drawer
to get them in a hurry.
When you have enough space be-
tween the range and the sink for a
table top cupboard, this is the
ideal place for vertical storage of
cookie sheets, griddles and pot cov-
cookie sheets, girddles and pot cov-
ers. Thin, vertical pieces of wood
may be constructed inside the cab-
inet to hold these separately, in
apple-pie order, if the cabinet does
not come with them already made.
Be Smart!
Pique continues its upward
climb in the popularity scale
and is being given many dif-
ferent treatments. For ex-

is that it is always flattering

put them away immediately after
drying. No steps to cart dishes to
another cabinet will be needed!
If it’s possible to have a cabinet
near the sink, this may be used
for storing cleaning items such as
broom, mops, dust pans, cleaning
cloths and towels.
tN ONE OF THESE articles,
* some time ago, I said that mon-
ey was the most important con-
sideration where the success—or
failure—of a marriage was con-
cerned. Hundreds of women wrote
me in answer, and most of them
were shocked at so material a
view, and protested that in a true
marriage money was but a minor
consideration.
“When we were married we had
nothing,” many of these letters
from happy wives said. “I would
marry Dick if he hadn’t a penny,”
said the girl’s letters. Old women
—grandmothers, great grandmoth-
ers—wrote me that it was not safe
to put such ideas into the heads of
idealistic youth.
Chances with Love
It is impossible to answer all
these letters personally, but this
might stand as a sort of answer
to them all. What I meant in my
article was by no means what
they took it to mean. It would be
unnatural and absurd to suggest
that a girl in love measures the
claims of the man she does not
love against the claims of the man
she does, because the first men-
tioned has a good income and the
second none. Her chances with
love weighing down the scale, are
infinitely the better.
Millions of happy American mar-
riages—perhaps it would be safe
to say most American marriages
May a Person Carry a Grudge
"Beyond the Grave"—
By Means of His Will?
A man got into legal difficulties
with his partner. In the midst of
the bitter court battle that followed,
the man died. In his will, he left a
substantial bequest to his son—but
only on the condition that the son
would carry on the fight against
the partner to the bitter end. As it
happened, the son had no stomach
for the controversy. Scr"he went to
court to test the validity of this
“grudge clause,” arguing that it was
against the public interest to per-
petuate a quarrel in this way. But
the judge disagreed and held that
the unusual proviso was quite le-
gal.
May a Dog Bite
The Hand That Feeds Him?
A woman had a collie which had
the nasty habit of nipping people.
One day a delivery man, noticing
the dog on the sidewalk, held out a
piece of candy. The animal’s re-
sponse was to bite his hand! When
the man later sued the dog’s owner
for damages, she insisted that his
gesture had “provoked” the dog
into biting. However, the court
made her pay for the delivery
man’s injury. The judge felt that
any dog mean enough to “bite the
hand, that feeds him” should not
be allowed to run loose at all.
,r. . . if be hadn’t a penny . .
—start on a very shaky financial
basis. Usually, the man has a job,
and the girl her trousseau and wed-
ding gifts, and perhaps a few wed-
ding checks. That’s all.
Ten, 15, 50 happy years later
they love to look back at the earl-
ier difficulties, the money short-
ages, the scares and crises. But
to survive these crises takes all
the character and courage young
people have. Some of those who
haven’t enough character and
courage muddle through simply
because they can’t separate.
Others keep putting off divorce
because it is their nature to pro-
crastinate. And the muddlers and
the procrastinaters often find
themselves emerging into better
times, easier finances, older chil-
dren, a more developed attitude,
toward the seriousness of mar-
riage.
Money Question Lurks
But under the trouble, even
though it seemed to be a matter
of not loving enough, or having no
common interests, or being actual-
ly incompatible, the money ques-
tion was always lurking.
When there is a money adjust-
ment, nerves get frazzled. Lee
takes it much too casually, and
Diana frets. Or Diana hasn’t the
slightest idea of the value of mon-
ey and charges dresses and hats
as though every charge wasn’t go-
ing to be entered on the bills. The
baby’s threatened mastoid turns
out to cost $300. Diana won’t bother
with a budget, or Lee gets mad
whenever she asks him where that
$10. went.
When Lee’s mother comes to vis-
it it’s a question of entertaining,
and of hearty lunches, which doub-
les bills. Diana can’t ask her to
eat a peanut butter sandwich in
the kitchen. When Lee spends four
days in bed with flu there’s the
doctor again, and Wilson, at the
office, gets the commission that
Lee might have had.
Stealing Cows
Still Is Risky
Prize Calf Kicks Man
Into Raft of Troubles
HUDSON, WIS. — They don’t
string you up any more for selling
cattle you don’t own, but you can
get into a heap of trouble. Espe-
cially if you’re wanted in three
states for forgery and for violating
federal parole.
That’s what a fellow who called
himself Jack Desmond learned.
All he had done, believed Lawrence
Hope, St. Croix county sheriff, was
to sell a registered bull calf he
didn’t own to Charles Reimer of
Lakeland, Minn., for $75. By tha
time the FBI had finished routine
checks Desmond was under $10,000
bail and authorities were arguing
which charge to try him on.
They said that Desmond’s story
started when he had just been re-
leased from the federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kas., and
picked on the Hudson area as a
good place to settle down. He got
a job at the Houser-Interlachen
dairy, about 15 miles from here.
He met Mrs. Victor J. Barnum,
a well to do 47 year old widow.
Desmond, who is 36, said that he
was 41. He courted and won Mrs.
Barnum and quit his job. On Oct.
8 he was married. A few days' later
he sold the dairy’s prize calf to
Reimer. A couple of days later he
and his bride left on an extended
western trip. A charge of selling
the calf under false pretenses was
gotten out against Desmond.
The bride’s mother, Mrs. Victor
Johnson, became suspicious over
the repeated requests for money
and war bonds she was receiving
from the couple.
Desmond-- and his wife returned
here and he promptly demanded
that his mother-in-law give him the
key to their safety deposit box. She
refused. He went to the courthouse
to get a court order forcing her to
give him the key.
But Mrs. Johnson, the mother-in-
law, had beaten him there. She
voiced her suspicions to Dist. Atty.
U. F. Gwin. Gwin was glad to know
that Desmond was back in town.
When Desmond showed up for his
court order the sheriff arrested
him for the calf sale.

Hadacol Is Praised
At Famous Spa
HADACOL HAS SPECIAL OFFICE IN
Lee doesn’t get his raise, and
the only thing that is raised is
the roof when he discovers that
young Lee has broken a window
downtown to the tune of nine dol-
lars. High living costs distract
Diana; she tells Lee that there will
have to be a change, she can’t go
on. And Lee worries and frets in
his turn, and wonders how he is
going to tell her that there are to
be changes at the office, too. Fil-
more for manager. Filmore! Five
years younger than Lee, and
trained by Lee!
When they separate nobody men-
tions money. Lee says that he
hates for the children to hear scrap-
ping all the time, and Diana tells
her lawyer that Lee’s insensitive-
ness to the strain under which she
lives amounts to severe cruelty.
If the financial situation were
restful and secure, rather than sub-
ject to every domestic storm that
blows, none of these things would
disturb it. Crises like dentist and
doctor would have their place;
Lee would trust Diana and Diana
would take pride in holding ex-
penses down.
So don’t minimize the importance
of money, you young husbands and
wives. Or rather, settle it honest-
ly and fairly, and then you can for-
get as completely as you please.
‘ Ask yourselves if you are being
just about it.
A few years ago a rapturous,
engaged young woman was talking
to me and to her mother of her
new household.
Hot Springs National Park, ArK.—
(Special)—Health is a major topic
of conversation in this world famous
Spa and more and more conversation
turns to the marvelous, health-giv-
ing blessings being brought to so
many by HADACOL.
Realizing the importance of Hot
Springs as a health center, Dudley
J. LeBlane, Founder and President
of LeBlane Corporation, makers of
HADACOL, established an office in
Hot Springs to advise suffering
folks on how HADACOL can benefit
their systems with its wealth of B
Vitamins and important Minerals.
In this HADACOL office in Hot
Springs are records of folks who
have found improved health in a
bottle of HADACOL. That is one
reason why per capita sales of HAD-
ACOL in Hot Springs are among
the highest in the country.
Take for instance Mrs. Jennie
Webb, who shares a new home at
237 Cones Road in Hot Springs with
her daughter and son-in-law. Mrs.
Webb has a host of friends through-
out Arkansas who were thrilled to
know that HADACOL helped her in
a wonderful recovery after several
years of illness.
Here is Mrs. Webb’s statement:
“I started taking HADACOL in the
early fall, buying two of the econ-
omy-size bottles of HADACOL. I
had been feeling weak and rundown
for several years. I suffered the
horrors of gastric disturbances and
indigestion. I had to be very careful
in the selection of food that would
agree with me. I had tried so many
remedies without beneficial results
and had just about given up hopes
of feeling well again. Friends urged
me to try HADACOL. I have never
regretted their advice because I
have felt better than at any time in
years. I digest food better and do
not have indigestion. I have more
energy.”
Mrs. Webb was suffering a de-
ficiency of B Vitamins and impor-
tant Minerals, which HADACOL
contains.
A lack of only a small amount of
B Vitamins and certain Minerals
will cause digestive disturbances. . . .
Your food will not agree with you. ...
You will have an upset stomach. . . .
You will suffer from heart burns,
gas pains, and your food will sour
on your stomach, and you will not be
able to eat the things you like for
fear of being in misery afterwards.
Many people also suffer from con-
stipation. And while these symptoms
may be the results of other causes,
they are surely and certainly the
symptoms and signs of the lack of
the B Vitamins and Minerals con-
tained in HADACOL. And if you
suffer from such disorder, there is
no medicine, drug or treatment that
will cure you except the administra-
tion of Vitamins and Minerals which
your system lacks.
HADACOL contains not only one,
but five of the B Vitamins. HADA-
COL contains not only one, but four
of the necessary Minerals. It comes
to you in liquid form, easily assimi-
lated in the blood stream so that it
can go to work right away. You can-
not be satisfied with just temporary
relief. HADACOL attacks and
cures the source of such deficiency
diseases.
It is easy to understand, therefore,
why countless thousands have al-
ready been benefited by this amaz-
ing tonic, HADACOL. Accept no
substitute—insist on the genuine
HADACOL!
So, it matters not who you are . . .
it matters not where you live ... or
if you have tried all the medicines
under the sun, give this wonderful
preparation a trial. Don’t go on suf-
fering! Don’t continue to lead a
miserable life. Many persons who
have suffered and waited for 10 to
20 years, or even longer, are able
now to live happy, comfortable
lives again because HADACOL sup-
plied the Vitamins and Minerals
which their systems needed. Be fair'
to yourself. Give HADACOL a trial.
We are so firm in our belief that
HADACOL will help you that we
sell HADACOL on a money-back
guarantee. If you don’t feel perfect-
ly satisfied after using HADACOL
as directed, just return the empty
carton and your money will be cheer-
fully refunded. Nothing could be
fairer.
Sold at all the leading drug stores.
Trial size only $1.25, but save
money—buy the large family and
hospital size—only $3'.50.
If your druggist does not have
HADACOL, order direct from The
LeBlane Corporation, Lafayette,
Louisiana. Send no money. Just your
name and address on a penny post-
card. Pay postman. State whether
you want the $3.50 hospital economy
size or the $1.25 trial size. Remem-
ber, money cheerfully refunded un-
less you are 100% satisfied.—Adv.
